Hermès Birkin Shoulder Light 29 in Gold Evercolor and Embroidered Rose Pop, Black, Gold Toile Palladium Hardware

The Shoulder Light 29 is Jean-Paul Gaultier’s modern reinterpretation of Hermès’ iconic Birkin, first unveiled in its oversized 42 cm form in 2004 and reimagined here at a streamlined 29 cm width. By elongating the handles and reducing the height, the bag sits perfectly under the arm, creating that coveted “east-west” profile. Measuring approximately 29 cm × 16 cm × 13 cm (11.5″ × 6.3″ × 5.1″) with a handle drop of around 14–15 cm, it retains the classic flap with dual sangles and touret closure, clochette with lock and keys, and double-rolled handles—offering the practicality of a Birkin 30 in a sleeker, shoulder-friendly shape.

This example is rendered in Evercolor calfskin in Hermès’ warm Gold—celebrated for its fine grain and exceptional scratch resistance—and is set against a Gold toile canvas embroidered with a rose-inspired motif in vivid Rose Pop and contrasting black threads. The intricate embroidery adds depth and personality without overpowering the silhouette, while polished Palladium hardware—the turn-lock, sangles, and clochette accents—introduces a cool, luminous counterpoint. In store-fresh condition, it exemplifies Hermès’ dedication to craftsmanship, marrying vibrant color and textured detail in a truly standout Shoulder Birkin.
